No im not a Lib Dem myself (if anything im a soft tory) though i did vote LibDem at the last GE but only because i refuse to vote for my tory canditate due to his "within the rules" expenses claims in the past.

The problem with the Lib Dems is that their willingness to "compromise" is so complete that you actually have no idea what they're going to do if they get into power.
This is because they're totally sold on the European model of proportionally representative coalition politics, where manifestos are meaningless because the programme for government is decided behind closed doors, after the election, between the single largest party and as many fringe lunatics as it requires to form a working majority.
